docs: kdoc_yaml_file: use a better name for the tests

2026-03-25T19:36:46+00:00

Instead of always using a name with a number on it, use
the name of the object directly whenever possible.

When the name is already used, append a number prefix at
the end.

docs: kdoc: better handle source when producing YAML output

2026-03-25T19:36:46+00:00

The current logic was storing symbols source code on a list,
not linked to the actual KdocItem. While this works fine when
kernel-doc markups are OK, on places where there is a "/**"
without a valid kernel-doc markup, it ends that the 1:1 match
between source code and KdocItem doesn't happen, causing
problems to generate the YAML output.

Fix it by storing the source code directly into the KdocItem
structure.

This shouldn't affect performance or memory footprint, except
when --yaml option is used.

While here, add a __repr__() function for KdocItem, as it
helps debugging it.

docs: kdoc_yaml_file: add a representer to make strings look nicer

2026-03-25T19:36:45+00:00

The strings representation is not ok, currently. Add a helper
function to improve it, and drop blank lines at beginning and
at the end of the dumps

docs: add a new file to write kernel-doc output to a YAML file

2026-03-22T21:10:40+00:00

Storing kernel-doc output is helpful to allow debugging problems
on it and to preparate unit tests.

Add a class to store such contents at the same format as defined
at kdoc-test-schema.yaml.
